Valentines Day Recap

This Valentine's Day was by far the best one I've EVER had.
I know I know, I'm a newly wed and i am just filled with mushy love sickness..but seriously, best.one.ever. I think what made it so great was that it wasn't anything fancy. Just a fun night shared by two people who love each other! Since Vday fell on a Tuesday, we decided to celebrate at home (we've realized we cant go out on weeknights anymore.. those were only in the good ole college days). So instead of going out for dinner, I made a wonderful meal: crab dip for appetizer, chicken with wild rice and mushrooms, bacon wrapped green beans, followed by HOMEMADE chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. Ha, pretty proud of the homemade part..considering I would usually just go pick some up. I must add, they turned out delicious! After dinner, we opened our "happies," and I was so surprised to get a necklace and earrings that Chris actually picked out himself! This is very rare. Haha, I'm usually telling Chris exactly what he can get me for holidays/birthdays/etc. but he did this all by himself! Super proud. And.. to make it better.. they are actually cute! Double proud. Chris was pretty excited about his happy as well.. which was a cordovan belt. He briefly mentioned that he needed one a few weeks before Vday. And me, being the awesome wife that I am :), took note of that. Of course, we also got each other loads of our favorite candies. As a result, I have gained probably 5 pounds in a week. Thanks to the candy bowl on our coffee table (not to my no self-control ability). After our yummy dinner and dessert we rented a movie and spent the rest of the night on the couch with wine and popcorn. Nothing better than cuddling with the one you love. We laughed, cuddled, share sweet words, and overall.. just appreciated having each other to spend the special love holiday with. What a wonderful night it was! On Friday, for a post Vday celebration.. we went to Cafe Nonna for dinner. I absolutely love that place. Super quaint restaurant and so yummy! Chris even took me to see "The Vow" over the weekend! He didn't want to, but he actually enjoyed the love/chick movie. Shhh, don't tell him I shared that. Now, that's my kinda Valentine's Day!
The pictures show our yummy meal!
